In a post-game interview with NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager, LeBron James was recorded claiming he doesn't feel anyone in the league should ever wear #23 again. This was James' response when asked how he felt about Michael Jordan being present at the game to watch him go head-to-head against Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade. He mentioned it would be easy for him to change his number to 6, the number he's worn for USA Olympic basketball.
When asked what team will be creating this new #6 for him, he declined to comment - as he's doing for months. No doubt he's bothered by that possibility, but obvious to most he could pretty much write his own contract.
By the way, I happen to agree with LeBron. The number 23 should be permanently retired.
